About this listen

Hey friend,

Do you feel exhausted no matter how many hours you technically “slept”?

Are your kids’ sleep issues dragging your nervous system into survival mode?

What would change if you knew how to support your body even on the nights you can’t control?

Hi friend, I’m Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you’re dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you’re not alone.

This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and find steadier footing — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. In this episode, I’m breaking down why lack of sleep hits chronic illness moms so much harder — especially when you can’t control your nights because of sensory needs, night wakings, anxiety, or neurodivergent kiddos. You’ll learn three simple ways to help your body recover, protect your nervous system, and feel more functional the next day. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about supporting your body inside your real life.
